FSU Game Saturday: FSU vs. Clemson odds and prediction for NCAA Week 9 game

FSU football will enter week nine of the 2021 season with a (3-4, 2-2 ACC) record after three consecutive wins. They will be traveling to Clemson for the opportunity to defeat the Tigers for the first time since the 2014 season.

FSU vs. Clemson Week 9

The Week 9 betting odds on WynnBET have the Noles as +10 betting underdogs on the road against the Tigers, who are coming off a home loss against Pittsburgh. The money line odds are not available at this time, but the total for the game is set at an over/under of 46.5 points, which implies a 28-18 type of game in favor of Clemson.

FSU vs. Clemson Prediction Week 9

The Noles dominated UMASS in their last outing, which answered some questions about the team mindset, although the turnover on the opening kickoff wasn’t something we want to see. However, they scored on every offensive possession after that, and the defense kept an awful offense out of the end zone the entire game. FSU should be healthy at most positions, though we’ll wait to see how offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons feels after exiting Saturday’s game.

Clemson comes into the game off the loss against Pittsburgh and realistically could be 1-6, but they have three wins by six points or less. Their offense is among the worst in the Power Five, but they have more talent than most. It’s their defense that’s carrying the load for them through the first seven games. Can FSU’s offense find enough success to get the win? Will Clemson find their mojo against an FSU defense that’s been OK, but not great all year? The over/under total means field position could be at a premium in this one, and Nole special teams have struggled most of the time. If FSU football can avoid turnovers and win the field position battle, they’ll have a great shot of pulling off the upset.
